There was no stopping Max Verstappen in Belgium, as the reigning world champion eased to victory in Spa after starting a lowly P14. Verstappen's teammate Sergio Pérez made it another 1-2 for the Red Bull team while pole-sitter Carlos Sainz finished third. George Russell finished fourth ahead of Fernando Alonso, while Charles Leclerc, who finished fifth initially was demoted to sixth, following a late penalty. Alonso's teammate Esteban Ocon was seventh ahead of Sebastian Vettel while Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon rounded off the points places. Verstappen was just in a league of his own and even a low starting position couldn't stop the Dutchman. The world champion was untouchable in Spa and it is only a matter of time before he secures his second world title. Pole-sitter Carlos Sainz got off well but Sergio Pérez had a shocking get-away which saw Fernando Alonso take second spot from the Mexican but Alonso's strong start was undone as the two-time world champion had first lap contact with his former McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton, with Hamilton making a rare-driver error and tagging Alonso from the back. The tangle with Alonso, saw Hamilton suffer heavy damage and was the first retiree of the race. Hamilton's teammate, George Russell, was up to third place while four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel also had a stunning start and was upto fifth place.

Max Verstappen extended his championship lead following a comfortable win in Hungary, holding off a fast charging Lewis Hamilton with George Russell making it yet another double podium for Mercedes. Ferrari's questionable strategy once again cost them a podium and maybe even a win as Carlos Sainz finished fourth ahead of the other Red Bull of Sergio Pérez with Charles Leclerc finishing sixth. McLaren's Lando Norris was seventh ahead of the Alpine pair of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon while Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel finished tenth and took home the final point. Ferrari dropped the ball once again as the once-race leader Charles Leclerc who was looking set for a win came in for a question switch to the hard compound which effectively dropped him out of contention for the win and a sixth place finish has put him further back in the championship battle. Starting 10th and 11th, a win and fifth also see Red Bull further extend their lead in the constructors' championship as well.
